"Is there anything urgent? If not, you can go ahead and take care of it..."
Lena saw Wang Ji silently accept a message, close his eyes, then open them again, followed by a long silence.
He leaned quietly on the railing, his tranquil eyes gazing at the sea, seemingly lost in thought, his gaze occasionally shifting as if he were pacing back and forth.
Lena had no idea what he was thinking. Her boyfriend was always a mystery, and she only knew the basics about him.
For example, she knows his gene-making ability. He made his own gene-upgrade serum, and he also made the second-generation super gene that he recently gave Qi Lin, or the super genes of A Xu and the others. She is certain that Wang Ji made them all himself.
However, that was all she knew.
Perhaps she vaguely knew that he had some connection with some angel.
However, she didn't think anything of it. On the contrary, she admired Wang Ji's awareness. As a future god and future king, this was the most basic quality.
This is the kind of male god who can match her radiance, and the future she saw in Wang Ji back then.
"Yes, there is something." Wang Ji nodded, his gaze deep, a hint of thought flowing through him.
He took a breath, straightened up, and pulled himself out of his thoughts: "I need to talk to Du Jiangjun..."
"Looking for Du Jiangjun?" Lena suddenly seemed puzzled and subconsciously asked, "What could you possibly talk to him about?"
It wasn't that she was being nosy; it was just that her subconscious was really strange.
It's something that Lena and the others can't easily discuss on the Giant Gorge, so they can only keep it to themselves. It's probably the vague sense of distance between Wang Ji and Du Kao, and the unspoken sense of estrangement between them.
Outsiders couldn't sense it, and even the soldiers of the Super Soldier Squad, like Ge Xiaolun, didn't feel anything. But Lena, Qilin, Du Qiangwei, and the others knew that the relationship between Du Kao and Wang Ji was definitely not good.
It's at best passable on the surface.
For a long time, Wang Ji and Du Kao rarely saw each other, exchanging only information on official business.
Wang Ji would never take the initiative to seek out Dukao.
While it's true that Wang Ji, as an ordinary member of the Super Soldier Squad, had no reason to communicate with Dukao alone, this is "normal".
But Lena knew that the subtle conflict between Wang Ji and Du Kao was not something that could be resolved in a few words, nor was it something that ordinary people could understand.
Even at the deepest level, Lena felt that only she could understand; Qilin and Du Qiangwei probably wouldn't.
At most, the two of them thought that Du Kao was still resentful about Du Qiangwei being one of Wang Ji's girlfriends, while Wang Ji disdained to fawn over someone who didn't appreciate him—as father-in-law and son-in-law, if the father-in-law was not satisfied with his son-in-law, the son-in-law was unwilling to humble himself and fawn over him.
But she understood that there were both personal and official matters involved.
Moreover, the mixing of public and private funds has led to the current situation.
To this, all she could say was, "No wonder Wang Ji still likes Qi Lin the most."
Just look at how the parents react; any man would like that.
So isn't it strange that Wang Ji is looking for Dukao?
"Hmm..." Wang Ji thought for a moment, then chuckled softly, "What can we talk about? Roses, shall we?"
Lena was slightly taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded: "Alright, let's have a good chat... so that Rose won't always be stuck in the middle and feel uncomfortable."
...
A moment later, in Ducão's office.
"Heh," Dukao, dressed in military uniform, sat in a chair with a lit cigarette between his right fingers, and sized up Wang Ji across from him: "You seem to have a lot more free time lately, even having time to come and visit me?"
"Hmm," Wang Ji, dressed in a dark green uniform, responded from the sofa, poured himself some tea, took a leisurely sip, and then said, "Things have been a bit easier lately, I'll take a couple of days off..."
In the orderly office, wisps of smoke swirled, from Ducao cigarettes to the rising steam from Wangji teacups.
"Ha, so young, yet you still like drinking tea." Dukao took a drag of his cigarette, crossed his arms, and chuckled.
"There's no way around it, my family can afford it," Wang Ji replied casually. "The advantage of having a rich girlfriend is that you don't have to worry about food, clothing, or daily necessities."
“Heh,” Dukao flicked his cigarette ash, “That’s true. Lena longs for Earth’s fashion, but for men, the era of the blazing sun is indeed a dream.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ji curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
He nodded and then said, "If I have the chance, I will go to Lieyang, but I have to pick a good time. It's not feasible right now."
Upon hearing this, Dukao seemed to be deep in thought, though not very clearly, before teasingly asking, "And then take Qilin with you?"
Wang Ji and Qi Lin have been inseparable for a long time. Although people didn't quite understand it for a long time, they gradually realized that he clearly had a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, fearing that something would happen to Qi Lin if she wasn't under his watchful eye.
Although they're not always glued to each other now, it's pretty much the same. They're still on the same team, and when they go on missions, even if Wang Ji just stands by and watches Qi Lin struggle, he still has to be there to watch her struggle.
This matter is now common knowledge among everyone in the Super Soldier Corps.
“Of course.” Wang Ji nodded without hesitation: “Even if we go to the most dangerous place, I will be the safest person by your side, let alone Lieyang… Of course, Lena said to bring Qiangwei along too.”
Lena is now looking forward to taking us to Lieyang for a while, so we can experience its scenery.
Upon hearing this, Dukao's eyelids twitched.
